So I absolutely love Target! Their $1 section always has the most fabulous little things! They also have quite a bit in their cleareance.. I had not been in a while just with work and not really wanting to spend extra $$ but everyone knows sometimes there are deals you just cant pass up! So to avoid spending anything extra I have just passed right on by for a couple months! So this morning after I dropped Mia (the little girl I nanny) off at preschool, I decided I was going to go in and just glance around. Well to my surprise all these cute shirts, purses, wallets, shoes, and home decor I had been waiting on to go on sale months ago is on sale NOW! ... =/ So I said to myself, "so now that my hubby is out of work, and we are saving every flippin penny,(and I do mean every flippin penny lol) you decide to go on sale!?" ... So feeling a little discouraged I texted my mom, who I text about 25 times a day and see her at least 4 or 5 times a week, and told her my dilema! And as usual she encouraged me and made a funny (a joke =) and told me if I would help her do some cleaning and organizing, she would pay me and I could go back and get a few of the little things I wanted! ( and to be honest I felt like I was 8 years old again and was earning an allowance but then I pushed that thought away and said hey if this is another way the Lord is going to provide Ill take it =) We call my mom Tone~tone because for one her name is Toni, and two there use to be the sweetest lady who came into the ER where my mom works. Her name was Joyce and she called my mom Tone~tone <3 Joyce has passed away but the nickname.. it stuck!
My Mom and Dad are pretty much amazing and sometimes I offer to help clean or do whatever she needs because they've been so fabulous. But in our family, You dont worry about if someone has paid you back or not, it all evens out somewhere. All of it has made me wonder where Id be if I had grown up with a not so positive way of dealing with things.. definitely not where I am now! My Tone~tone is one of my best friends and throughout my childhood she and my dad demonstrated to Myself, My brother Thomas and sister Morgan unconditonal love. No matter what we did, we may have gotten in trouble, but they never put us down or discouraged us. They sacrificed and went without so that we were happy and had what we wanted or needed! I have so many wonderful memories from my childhood sometimes I can literally smell a memory.. (I know thats weird but its true) So once again.. its Tone~tone to the rescue =D
